DRBDLinks

Introduction

A program to manage making and restoring links in a Linux HA cluster using DRBD. When the shared cluster drive is mounted, certain files and directories are moved aside and links are created into the shared partition. The list of files and directories which are linked is controlled by a configuration file, for example:

mountpoint('/shared')
link('/home/')
link('/etc/httpd')
link('/var/log/httpd', '/shared/logs/httpd')

In this example, we are mounting the DRBD partition in "/shared", and by default we are causing "/home" to be linked to "/shared/home", "/etc/httpd" to "/shared/etc/httpd", etc... The last line shows an example of a link which specifies the destination location explicitly, instead of assuming that it goes to the same location under shared.
